Are you CRAZY?

I recently read this article from Dog Living Magazine.

As stated in a previous post, I left my rather unstable corporate job. Yes, I thought that I was crazy and second guessed this decision several times, it was a struggle. However, once I got the word out about starting up my own pet business the out pouring of support was unremarkable!

If you haven't heard, the economy is lacking and I was feeling that I was going to loose my management position. But in my research I noticed that the pet industry was still thriving. Going into a local pet store I was pleased to see that it was incredibly busy, even on a weekday evening. Because of my 50 hour work week, we made cuts and compromises in other areas of our budget to provide for our two dogs, it was "no brainer"! Yes, I have heard of and read stories where this hasn't been the case for some people, having to give up their loved ones after losing their jobs. It's saddening but I then read of tear jerking stories where the community or neighbors came to the rescue of these pets.

All in all, it's still a great time to be a pet!
